White Wolf Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

The Sword, the Spear, and the Shield

As the Nordic gods all gathered around
for there is a treasure that I have found
The Celtic gods all came as well
To listen to what I had to tell

For the Fenris Wolf has been unleashed
no one shall save Odin from this beast
Both the gods of Aesir and Vanir alike
when comes Ragnarok will have to strike

Brother against brother shall fight this day
And the Midgard serpent no one can slay
Thor takes three steps, after being bitten by the snake
no man or god will ever see him awake

As the Celtic gods, all looked on in awe
None of them could foresee the fall of Thor
So the Celtic tribe of Danaan formulated a plan
to help the Norse gods they’d be led by Bran

The mother of the gods, Danu was there too
And the Morrigu joined in with their Ravens flew
Nuada and Lugh led their warriors to the field
With the sword of light, a magical spear, and shield

But the Norns had weaved in runes this event
and no matter how they tried they could not prevent
The outcome may be bleak but there is some relief
A man and woman survive in the Old Norse belief

Arthur Vaso July 31, 2017 at 8:33 PM Well well, you know I loved this poem, I would love to see some notes, a brief explanation of all the Gods, mentioned in the poem! I am sure for some would be fun to look up more info on their "fav" gods! This poem exemplifies your raw talent! White Wolf July 31, 2017 at 8:41 PM The notes would be more work than the poem itself! lol. Once I'm done I'm done! All the info is on the net these days if others are inclined to delve further into it! But I shall ponder on doing it perhaps one day. Thank you, Great Bear /|\
